Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 801 Conferment
The Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty: "Heaven and earth are in harmony, yin and yang are in harmony, and all things are unified. Here is the emblem of Xiahou, gentle and gentle, dignified, intelligent and virtuous, well-ruled the palace, and gave birth to the prince Hu. According to the etiquette of my emperor and the Han, the book was established. Xiahou's emblem is the Empress of the Han Dynasty, her mother respects the world, and she started reforming with the people, so I admire this."

"Give the Queen's Seal and ascend the Queen's throne."

Xia Houhui dragged the red phoenix long skirt and pinned the dragon and phoenix golden hairpin, and stepped up the jade ladder with small steps.Looking at Liu Chan who was waving to him, Xia Houhui's smile became more and more obvious.

When she was about to sit beside Liu Chan, she suddenly saw a few maids shouting, dragging her back from the dream to reality.

"Your Majesty!" The maid bowed her waist and shouted softly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late and she still needs to wash up. If it is later, the banquet may be delayed."

Xiahou Huiben wanted to get angry and wanted to finish the dream, but it was getting late, so he had to get up and wash.For so many years, this is the first time she has appeared in front of the ministers, and she must cherish this opportunity.

Xia Houhui looked at himself in the mirror with long hair fluttering, and said: "Today, civil and military ministers and wives are all here. Comb them more dignifiedly, and don't look like the old days."

"promise!"

"Where's Elle?"

"The servant is here!"

Xia Houhui recalled the long skirt made of Shu brocade in his dream, and said, "Pick out that newly made Chihuang long skirt, and use it as a lining for Your Majesty's royal robes."

"promise!"

Seeing himself in the mirror being dressed up by the maid and becoming more and more elegant, Xia Houhui brushed the broken hair by his ears, quite satisfied.

On the palace road, the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing in high spirits.Even Wei Yan, who was not feeling well, came here.However, Jiang Wei, Wang Ping, and Deng Ai were the three who attracted the most attention and were receiving everyone's congratulations.

"General Cheqi defended Jingzhou and defeated Cao Shuang. Yi is here to congratulate the prince." Fei Yi saw Wang Ping entering, and went forward to congratulate him.

Wang Ping returned the salute with a calm face, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fei, the battle of Jingzhou depends on the effectiveness of the soldiers of Jingchu. How can we defeat the enemy by relying on the next person!"

Fei Yi revealed the inside story with a smile on his face, "The general is too humble! Fortunately, the general restrained Cao Shuang's army, and His Majesty was able to conquer Hedong. Your majesty ordered the general to return to the capital from Jingzhou. In fact, today's banquet will be a great reward for the general."

Hearing this, Wang Ping's peaceful heart skipped a few beats.He knew that there would be a reward for coming back this time, but if it can be considered a heavy reward, it must be that position.But I was born a barbarian, how can I match it.

"Ding!"

The waiter took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Masters, civil and military wives, come to the court to celebrate."

With this in mind, Wu Ban and Jiang Wan's civil and military ministers were dressed in black and red clothes, and they were lined up in two rows, like a file entering the palace.On the stone ladder, the soldiers of the Han army looked serious, holding long halberds and lined up on both sides of the road, leading directly to the palace gate.

Not long after the officials entered the hall, the wives of the ministers, under the guidance of the ceremonial person, dragged their long skirts, entered the hall, and sat down beside their husbands.

Seeing that everyone had finished taking their seats, the hostess shouted: "Happy Your Majesty, the nobleman is here, and all the gentlemen salute."

The music officials played Jiushao music on the side of the hall, the singers recited the ritual words, and the ministers shouted greetings.Immediately, the drums and music in the hall were loud and thunderous.

Liu Chan, dressed in black clothes with twelve coats of arms and a twelve-pronged crown on his head, walked into the hall amidst the sound of mountains and tsunami.His face was calm as usual, he was used to it.

However, it was the first time for Xiahou Hui to attend such a grand occasion with Liu Chan. Hearing the shouts of the crowd, his heart beat faster, and he couldn't help speeding up his pace, almost catching up with Liu Chan in front of him.

Liu Chan glanced at Xia Houhui, and couldn't help laughing inwardly, no matter how smart a girl is, she would panic when experiencing such a thing for the first time.

Feeling more polite, Xia Houhui lowered his head and slowed down.However, a big hand stretched out and grabbed her catkin. In her raised eyes, Liu Chan gently tugged, and the two walked side by side.

Xia Houhui felt the warmth from the palm of his hand, and felt that his whole heart was drunk.

It's a pity that the road is not long. Not long after, Liu Chan let go of her hand and sat on the imperial couch alone. The only person who could sit with Liu Chan was the Queen.As a nobleman, Xia Houhui obviously does not have the qualifications, she can only be on the lower side.

After the ceremony officer had finished praising Liu Chan's achievements in the past 20 years since he ascended the throne, the whole banquet entered the theme.

Liu Chan leaned slightly on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Today, I gather together with all the gentlemen. One is to celebrate the joy of moving the capital, and the other is to award the meritorious soldiers in the battles of Jingzhou and Hedong. I hope that today's banquet will not return if you are not drunk. .”

"No!" Everyone said excitedly.

For military generals, although participating in the banquet is a joy, what is even more gratifying is being awarded the title on the spot, and accepting the reward beside his wife, which is undoubtedly the most proud thing.

Under the gaze of everyone, he was taking out the imperial edict and reading out the list of civil and military officials in a loud voice.

"Order General Chariot and Cavalry, Wang Ping, Marquis of Anhan, to command the people of Jing and Chu, and fight against Cao Shuang... He also fought against Kunyang. All armies, respect this."

As soon as the edict came out, everyone in the hall looked at Wang Ping, who was sitting in the lower seat of the Wu class, with eyes of both surprise and admiration.

At this time, Wang Ping still couldn't believe it. He looked up at Liu Chan, and saw His Majesty sitting on the couch, nodding to him.Only then did Wang Ping calm down, and hurried out of the queue, knelt down and kowtowed, and replied excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Give the general a golden seal."

The moment he took the golden seal, Wang Ping felt like he was floating. There was fear, but more excitement.He knew that he would be rewarded for entering Chang'an, but he didn't expect such a noble reward. Now he really doesn't know how to repay His Majesty!

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Wang Ping held the golden seal and kowtowed heavily on the ground, as if only kowtow could express his gratitude to Liu Chan.

After rewarding Wang Ping, all the generals' rewards were also recited one by one.

Hussar General Wu Ban, Feng Mianzhuhou, Yitong Sangong
Wei Yan, the general of Wei, was promoted to the general of chariots and riders, and Yitong Sangong.

Former General Deng Ai, General Qianwei, in charge of the Jingxiang military.

Jiang Wei, the general of Zhenbei, was promoted to the former general, granted the title of Marquis of Linfen, and concurrently led the governor of Bingzhou.

The left general Ju Fu, led the governor of Yizhou.

Zhennan General Deng Zhi led the Xiangzhou military
Liao Hua, the general who conquered the north, was promoted to the general who conquered the north.

Hu Zun, governor of Liangzhou, moved to General Bei.

Wang Si, the prefect of Xihe, moved to the general of the town army, and led the governor of Shuofang.

……

Soon, just as the recitation was finished, all the officials at the banquet cheered and thanked, and said: "My minister Wang Ping/Wei Yan..., thank you Your Majesty."

Liu Chan raised his bottle and looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Today's banquet, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest, and congratulate you on moving the capital and victory."

"promise!"

"Banquet!"

All of a sudden, the palace was full of wine and wine, and civil and military ministers whispered to each other, immersed in the joy of the banquet, enjoying singing and dancing, and tasting food.

Facing Xiahou Hui who was gradually getting used to the banquet, Liu Chan smiled and said, "Can Yuanrong still get used to it?"

Xia Houhui held up the wine bottle, toasted Liu Chan, and said: "My concubine wishes your majesty to unify the world as soon as possible, so as to order the world and revitalize the Han Dynasty."

"Mrs. Xie!" Liu Chan picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips.

Next, Jiang Wan, Wang Ping, Wei Yan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and other officials congratulated Liu Chan one after another, and the prince's wife toasted Xiahou Hui.

……

After the banquet, Liu Chan left Wang Ping behind, and the monarch and his ministers wandered among Langfang.Although Chang'an New Palace is not big, thanks to the building materials of Weiyang and Changle Second Palaces, it can be repaired fairly well.There are everything that should be there, but it does not occupy a large area. Like the Chengdu Palace, it is a bit stingy and not grand enough.

"Zijun!" Liu Chan asked casually with his hands behind his waist, "How do you feel about being named a general today?"

Wang Ping blushed slightly, and said with emotion: "Ping is a barbarian. Fortunately, His Majesty appreciated it. He was awarded the book of war and met a famous teacher. This is where he is today. When I received the golden seal, it was like receiving the art of war 20 years ago. I am full of emotions, and I don’t know what to say now. What I think, I can only repay your majesty’s kindness by dedicating myself to your majesty and dying.”

Liu Chan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want Qing to die, and I don't want Qing to die. I only want Qing to wipe out the enemy for the big man and restore the Central Plains."

"How dare I refuse!" Wang Ping responded with cupped hands.

Liu Chan paced on the corridor, and said slowly: "Today, the situation is divided into two points. If my big man wins the state, he will have the tendency of a tiger to descend the mountain; if he wins Luoyang, he will have the foundation to invade the Central Plains. Today, Shizi will serve as a general. As a post, I should take this as my thinking and help my great man to unify the world as soon as possible."

Liu Chan appointed Wang Ping as a general, not simply to praise him, but to let him do practical things.If it doesn't work, Liu Chan can make him a general, or take him down and replace him with someone else.

In history, Jiang Wei was promoted from the general to the position of the rear general because of Duan Gu's defeat!
"promise!"

Wang Ping felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, and replied in a deep voice.
